Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts

Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

Current requests for increase in protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

List of proposed state mergers

Indefinite semi-protection: Recurring IP vandalism, adding of unrealistic proposals. Has already been temporarily semi-protected twice this year. See Page revision history in particular. Nick Mitchell 98 (talk) 10:37, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

William C. Bradford

Temporary full protection: BLP policy violations. Mdann52 (talk) 12:44, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined I see good faith editing. NeilN 01:38, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent unsourced and fan interpretive info being added. Other Dallas-related pages were recently semi-protected for the same reasons (and because of the same user who uses multiple different IPs) however, have just become unprotected and the user is now back.Cebr1979 (talk) 16:17, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:55, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:57, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A new IP address is attempting to add content with YouTube as a source. However, YouTube is not considered a reliable source and I'm hoping for a week's worth of protection from IP addresses. Khazar (talk) 20:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Khazar, I'm declining this for now. "YouTube is not considered a reliable source" is not quite accurate. It's the source, not the medium that matters. For example, the official BBC channel on YouTube is a reliable source. Bearing this in mind, if you think the source still isn't reliable, please post a note on the talk page and see if the IP responds. NeilN 02:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, including adding untrue/unsourced information, predictions of future events, and continually disregarding decisions made via consensus, despite many warnings, both inline and on talk pages, and several prior periods of semi-protection. - Katanin (talk) 20:44, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:00, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Full protection: This can shut off a major bot. WARNING: Do not add protection request templates to the page, it will shut off the bot. —Skyllfully | _contribs) 03:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I think this one has shown up before, isn't the reason the shutoff switch page is unprotected because Σ isn't an admin and won't be able to edit it? tutterMouse (talk) 05:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Shortcuts

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Template:Rfd/core

Template:Rfd/core (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Unprotection: No longer used in any current RfD nominations. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:44, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Any technical reason to unprotect? Nakon 04:55, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

@GeoffreyT2000: Why do you want this unprotected? The page is kept there as a historical archive of how the {{Rfd}} template previously function before its Lua conversion. If you need an edit done to it, I would recommend going to Template talk:Rfd/core and posting a request. Steel1943 (talk) 23:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – Open to editing by template editors per WP:TPE. Alakzi (talk) 12:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Pinging Xaosflux who changed protection from TE to admin only. --NeilN 14:27, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Admin only This template is used in the interface (MediaWiki:Watchlist-details), which is sysop only. — xaosflux 02:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Template:Rellink

Template:Rellink (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template protection: So that template editors can edit. It's quite doubtful that this is going to happen again. If I thought it would, I would have contacted the re-protecting admin first. Steel1943 (talk) 23:10, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests Shortcut

WP:RFED

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves, not here.
If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

Fulfilled/denied requests

A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
